[QUOTE="Altamont Ravenard, post: 1193452, member: 14700"] Hello all, thanks again for your input. We'll probably have a chance to try it later, since 3 of the 4 party members died last night. We got fooled by the Aboleth... AGAIN. The OotBI wasn't with us, but we had a Paladin who repaced him. Both the Paladin and the Cleric used Detect Evil to find the Aboleth (since illusions don't detect as evil), but the Aboleth use Project Image, and we followed the image, forgetting to check if it was the actual Aboleth or not. We all failed our saves... AGAIN. None of us detected the illusion by interacting with it. Everyone was beefed up with Protection from Evil. I summoned Shark after fiendish Shark, who did a good job of killing the illusion. After the fight with its image, we proceeded to Detect Evil again, and that's when we noticed that the aura was coming from an illusory wall (Veil ability). So, for the THIRD TIME we retreat out of the cave, and proceed to rest for the night, during which we are attacked by 3 displacer beasts. Combining very poor rolls with less than average strategy, the 3 displacer beasts maul 3 of us to death (the paladin didn't have his armor on, the sorcerer did the only reasonable damage with Fireballs, killing 1 beast). Only the Bard escapes so he may tell our story of stupidity. So, next time, the party will consist of Elven OotBI Human Bard Gnome Necromancer Dwarven Fighter Human Monk *sigh* AR [/QUOTE]
